HILLSBORO, Ore. — A driver crashed into the back of a Washington County Sheriff's patrol vehicle while the deputy was responding to a separate snow-related crash south of Hillsboro, Oregon.

There were no reports of serious injuries from the collisions.

Emergency crews were initially called out just after 9 a.m. Sunday on reports of a crash on SW Bald Peak Road at the SW Laurel Road intersection.

Officials say a driver went off the snow-covered road and into a ditch.

As deputies, firefighters, and paramedics were responding to that crash, a second driver slid on the slick road and crashed into the back of a sheriff's office vehicles.

Please #slowdown and give extra room. While on scene of a crash with the red car, the black car slid into our squad. No one hurt but it’s slick out there!🚗🚓🚙🚌+❄️=🚫🚗 🚓 🚙 🚌 + ❄️ = 👍🏻 pic.twitter.com/7n8VShOSrM
